Ingredients
Scale
Main Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Sweeteners and Liquids:
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (200 g) packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup (120 ml) whole milk
- 1 cup (240 ml) hot water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fat and Nuts:
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups (150 g) chopped pecans
Instructions
- Prepare the baking vessel by coating a 9×13-inch dish with cooking spray, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- Create a silky batter by whisking flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar in a medium mixing bowl until fully integrated.
- Introduce milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth, consistent texture emerges.
- Melt butter directly into the prepared baking dish, then carefully pour the prepared batter over the melted butter without disturbing the butter layer.
- Distribute chopped pecans evenly across the batter surface, creating a generous nutty layer.
- Craft a caramel-like syrup by dissolving brown sugar into hot water, stirring until a glossy liquid forms.
- Cascade the brown sugar mixture uniformly over the pecan and batter layers, allowing the liquid to seep naturally without manual intervention.
- Transfer the dish to a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven, baking for 35-40 minutes until the surface achieves a golden-brown complexion and edges become effervescent.
- Remove from oven and allow the cobbler to rest for 10-15 minutes, permitting the internal structure to stabilize and develop a delightful gooey center.
- Serve warm, accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a generous dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent dessert experience.
Notes
- Swap out all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend for celiac or gluten-sensitive individuals, ensuring the same delicious texture and taste.
- Reduce sugar content by using monk fruit sweetener or stevia for a diabetic-friendly version without compromising the rich caramel-like flavor.
- Toast pecans briefly before adding to enhance their nutty depth and create a more complex, roasted undertone in the dessert.
- Use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free alternative that maintains the recipe’s luxurious, moist consistency.
